Abstract:	Nutrition is a critical issue because, while the patient is at rest he is not in basal conditions. Energy consumption of the critically ill patient is higher than the basal one, and energy requirements are calculated using the correction factors for situations where the patient can be found. Assessment of nutritional status is critical to patient, depending on clinical and biological criteria. The energy requirements of the critically ill patient are in the neighbourhood of 25 kcal / kg / day, representing total calories, including protein intake. This is considered to be the reference value. Nutritional support given to critical patients contributes to reduced mortality, by replacing energy and tissue loss due to hyper catabolism.
